A thirty-two-year-old Rome woman is facing a felony obstruction charge after she allegedly bit a Georgia State Trooper’s hand during a traffic stop Tuesday.

According to Floyd County Jail records:

Amber Ladawn McMurray was stopped on Highway 101 at Rockmart Road for driving 78 miles per hour in a 55-mile-per-hour zone.

She then refused to sign the citation and would not get out of her vehicle.

A struggle ensued and the trooper was bitten, sustaining a laceration to the hand.

The incident occurred in the presence of a child who was in the vehicle.

McMurray was also charged with battery, simple battery on a law enforcement officer, misdemeanor obstruction, 3^rd-degree cruelty to children, and speeding.
